Detailed Information
The name “Mexican Dogwood” (Cornus florida var. urbiniana) gives a strong clue! **Mexico** is the likely geographical location and native region of this plant.
More specifically, it’s found in the **higher elevations of central and southern Mexico.** It’s a variant of the more common Flowering Dogwood (Cornus florida), which is native to eastern North America. The “urbiniana” variety has adapted to the warmer climate and higher altitude conditions found in Mexico.
